Man dresses as mom to take driver's test for her

After seeing his mom fail her driver’s test three straight times, a Brazilian man decided to lend a hand.

In a dress.

Heitor Márcio Schiave showed up at the State Department of Traffic in Porto Velho, Brazil, in a long skirt, floral blouse, heavy make-up, a handbag, earrings and a stuffed bra, The Guardian reports.

Even his fingernails were painted.

“I sensed a certain nervousness from the school’s owner,” driving test examiner Aline Mendonça told the Guardian. “He said, ‘We have a problem.’”

But there was “Dona Maria Schiave” — the person presented ID — ready to take “her” test.

When Mendonça got a look at the applicant, “it did not look like a woman,” she said. “I couldn’t believe it. It was surreal.”

But her 12 years of experience as a driving examiner told her to play it cool and let “her” start the parking test.

Mendonça contacted police, who arrived and caught up with the man.

When questioned, police said the 43-year-old mechanic admitted to dressing in drag to impersonate his mother in order to take the test for her.

“He said he was doing the driving test for his mother — and his mother did not know,” the officer said.

He was taken to the police station, arrested for fraudulent misrepresentation. The Brazilian news site G1 reports Schiave has been released from jail and will likely face a fine, the Guardian reported.

Mendonça told The Guardian some have said the station should not have turned him into police.

“We got a lot of criticism — ‘Oh the son did it for the love of the mother.’ But what if there was an accident or someone died?” Mendonça said. “You have to earn your pass — the driving test is serious.”

Of course, it might not have mattered in the end.

Mendonça said, judging from his driving skills during the test, the son wouldn’t have passed it either.

“(He) would have failed just the same,” she said.
